How do you think you might be able to use this technology in your workplace.?

I think this oculd be very useful in my workplace as it lists shopping sites,booksites,library news.

How can Libraries use Rss or take advantage of this new technology.?

To explore new sites and find out as much information as they can for borrowers.

Did you find any other good examples of library blogs.?

Yes I found quite a few.

Week 14 Twitter

I have tried to do a few tweets but dont really like it.I prefer facebook.We do not have a twitter account at our library and im sure it would be of no use to us.Will let the boss decide on that one.I did not understand the microblogging at all.I dont think I would get to like it maybe if I worked on it a bit more it may get better but very doubtful.I enjoyed reading all the posts and found a post from 1 of our local librarians amongst them.Well done Maggie Trindall.My Twitter name is JanelleVB.

Training Day

I am in Tamworth today for Web 2.1 training with April.I still cant get the gist of thesew web things but hopefully after today it will seem straightforward.

Week 14 Twitter

I joined Twitter previously and didnt quite make any gist of it.But going ov er the revision I can see now what Twitter is about.I like the tweets that deal with music,movies,library information and what is happening in the world today.

Week 16 Evaluation

I am up to the evaluation and I am stuck.I joined Survey Monkey.I set up google alerts to go to my hotmail account daily.I found this to be very interesting to read about what is happening in my shire .But some of the information given is pretty much outdated.This section was pretty hard but hopefully what I did was correct.Hopefully the next ones wont be as hard.I think google alerts could be useful for people wanting information on our shire if they come into our workplace.

Week 17 Nings

Withs Nings I joined Museum 3 but when I tried to join Library 2.0 it would not let me join as it needed a website library url for my workplace which we dont have.I had a look around museum 3 and invited friends to join me.I had 1 personm invite me so I accepted him as a friend.This could be quite useful in our workplace.

Week 18 Slideshows,screencasting and Digital storytelling

With this section we could not get the online tutorial to work.I did join upstream and slideshare.These I think will come in very useful.I will try to view the online tutorial at a later date.
